11. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Chris Brookes

DDT held an outdoor press conference at Zendentsu Labor Hall in Tokyo to promote the major matches of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” coming up soon. MAO and Chris Brookes both signed the contract for the KO-D Openweight Title main event then spoke about the upcoming match. Brookes compared MAO to a younger brother at first but then started thinking that a son is more accurate. He remembers MAO was one of the wrestlers who gave him the warmest welcome when he entered DDT. Over they years Brookes helped design merchandise for MAO’s band and when Brookes won his first championship in DDT, MAO couldn’t help but sob like a child. However Brookes thinks that dynamic shifted when MAO won the KO-D Title this year. MAO has grown into a cool and confident champion which Brookes admits makes him feel a little lonely. Whether this match is the end of their chapter or the start of a new one, Brookes does not want the story to be one where the “son” defeats his “father”. MAO thinks Brookes has also grown up over the seven years they’ve known each other but in his core he is still the same as when they first met. MAO wants this main event to be the culmination of every absurd match he and Brookes have previously had together to show everyone how fun pro wrestling can be.

For the Dramatic Dream Match, Shinya Aoki is calling his shot and said his goal is to beat Zack Sabre Jr. by submission. Sabre said he is happy to wrestle in DDT again and he understands when people like Yuki Ueno say that DDT is a family. If Sabre could tell his 14 year old self he would one day wrestle Aoki, he would just as excited and terrified as he feels right now. He does not see this match as New Japan Vs DDT. Instead it is his chance to prove to everyone again that he is the best technical wrestler in the world. Aoki does feel some responsibility to compete in the match as a newly signed DDT wrestler. It is giving him an extra push not to lose. The previous time they wrestled each other, Aoki said he had such a great time he could have kept wrestling Sabre non-stop until the next morning. Sabre likes the idea but then remembered Brookes is in the main event so he doesn’t want to take that away from him.

Ever since Konosuke Takeshita was added into the Danshoku Dieno Vs Daisuke Sasaki match, Sasaki has taken things more seriously. He understands the match is now a big deal with the whole world turning over to them. There are a lot of restrictions surrounding the match., mainly those focusing on preventing full nudity from taking place. Dieno is still determined to go beyond full nudity and take things further than when he wrestled Sasaki completely naked eight years ago. Takeshita does not want to experience anything like that. He brought up the date 8th January, 2007. It was when he had his first kiss stolen by Dieno when he attended a DDT show as a fan. He’s still angry about it! Another date he remembers is 29th May, 2016. It was when he beat Sasaki to win his first KO-D Title. He has fought Sasaki in many big matches throughout DDT’s history and each one made him stronger, turning him into the monster he is today. Sasaki never invited Takeshita to join DAMNATION but he unintentionally created a Frankenstein monster that’s been left to its own devices!

The challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles didn’t come to the event to pay respect to the champions. Instead Hideki Okatani sat around chewing gum while Ilusion rested his feet onto the table. Takeshi Masada did the same to show he wouldn’t be intimidated by the DAMNATION T.A pair. Ilusion then mocked paleyouth by pretending he couldn’t remember who the champions are because Yuya Koroku is so unmemorable. Koroku came up with a mature response, thinking that acting like an adult would put the young Ilusion back in his place even if it meant he was being “bland and safe.” Masada then gave the reminder that he and Koroku are the champions going into Sumo Hall next week. paleyouth was formed because the members did not want to be seen as duds when compared to the DNA generation of wrestlers. However Ilusion hates being labelled as being part of D GENERATIONS with paleyouth and wants the name to be dropped.

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match was revealed by Shunma Katsumata. He brought out a red rope that will be used for the Scarlet Friendship match. It will work in a similar way to a Chain Death Match where Katsumata and Ueno will be thethered together by their wrists with the rope. Much like how a red string is often used to symbolise a deep connection between people, the red rope represents the strong bond Katsumata has with Ueno. His idea didn’t impress Ueno to the point where Ueno started asking Hisaya Imabayashi if something else could be done for the match. Katsumata decided to use a bonus rules where “Sentiments” can get added to the rope. Every time there is a kickout or rope break, one piece of “Love” that weighs 1kg will be placed on a wrestler. This keeps going until a wrestler reaches 20kg of added weight and the match is won by either pinfall, submission or knockout. The crowd didn’t get the rules but Ueno was much happier with the idea and accepted the stipulation. The idea might end up backfiring on Katsumata because he hadn’t realised the extra weight could immobilise him until a reporter brought up that possibility to him. If that wasn’t worrying enough, Ueno decided to strangle Katsumata with the rope during the photo session afterwards.

During the press conference To-y brought out a roulette wheel to determine the name of his tag team with Kaisei Takechi. To-y still thinks his original idea of T2K2 should be picked but the spin ended up landing on Papico no Punch. To-y explained that he is Papico and Takechi is the Punch.


DDT “YOKOHAMA PRO WRESTLING RHAPSODY 2026” Results

October 24, 2026

DDT “YOKOHAMA PRO WRESTLING RHAPSODY 2026”, 24/10/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki defeated Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine (c) when Miyawaki pinned Sasadango with with a Body Press (8:01).
*Junta Miywaki becomes the 1,930th champion.
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ishida when Ueno & Akito pinned Katsumata & Ishida with a Linked Pin (11:13).
5. KANON defeated Masami Inahata with the Lariat (14:13).
6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ YUZUKI) when Brookes submitted MAO with the Ground Octopus Stretch (20:36).

Chris Brookes got one back on MAO by using one of his own tricks against him. MAO likes to sometimes use the referee as a vault to do a Flying Stunner onto his opponent. This time Brookes used that idea on MAO and then pulled him down into an Octopus Stretch to make him tap out. MAO admitted that submission move is really intense to be in but that Brookes pulled out his trump card this early just means in MAO’s mind Brookes has already lost. MAO also thinks the ring isn’t enough to contain him and Brookes so they should take this rivalry outside! No matter what happens, MAO is confident he will still be the KO-D Openweight Champion after Sumo Hall.

For Match #4 the two teams had to wrestle while being in constant physical contact with their tag partners. If contact is broken they had a five count to reconnect or face disqualification. Yuki Ueno & Akito were quickly able to develop some teamwork under these conditions while Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ishida struggled together. The two tried to do a top rope dive together but missed the target, allowing the other team to tangle them both up into a double pin for the finish. Ueno then told the audience he is already coming up with crazy match rules if he wins the DDT Extreme Title from Katsumata. Some of his ideas include a Submission match where only pinfalls count, a match with invisible people at ringside, a 60 minuted Iron Man Match and a Falls Count Anywhere match where you are not allowed physically touch your opponent. It’s all so Ueno can prove he can be interesting and entertaining as the Extreme Champion. Katsumata is starting to show frustration over his inability to beat Ueno. Since he gets to make the rules for the title match, he said it would not be something violent. However if Ueno happens to provoke him between now and Sumo Hall, Katsumata warns he might lose his temper and change his mind.

In a similar manner to the Tokyo Joshi Pro show that happened earlier in the day, Super Sasadango Machine’s mask kept him safe when he was shoved face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate. Jun Akiyama then unmasked him and repeated the spot so Sasadango suffered just as much as everyone else did. Akiyama put Sasadango into the Front Face Lock while Junta Miyawaki tried to put Dieno into a Butterfly Lock. Dieno ended up backing into Akiyama, giving Akiyama a face full of his backside. With everyone else down, Miyawaki easily pinned Sasadango and won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title in the process. He credited Akiyama’s teamwork for helping him win the title and he is ready to accept the challenges of anyone out there who wants to pin him.

Wrestlers from paleyouth and DAMNATION T.A kept provoking each other after the opening match. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku confronted Hideki Okatani & Ilusion, almost sparking off a brawl between the two sides. Backstage Ilusion said he is only interested in taking the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Masada doesn’t believe him and thinks Ilusion cares more about paleyouth than he wants to admit. Koroku complained about how much DAMNATION T.A cheats but also claims he noticed Okatani’s true nature coming to light. That’s the Okatani he wants to fight at Sumo Hall so they can determine who the be wrestler is out of D GENERATIONS.

There was a surprise announcement from Hisaya Imabayashi during the show where he revealed Konosuke Takeshita is booked for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” on 3rd November. As he was telling everyone that Takeshita’s match hasn’t been decided yet, Daisuke Sasaki got into the ring and demanded he face Takeshita in a singles match instead of his scheduled bout with Danshoku Dieno. That brought out Dieno who reminded Sasaki that they were supposed to have their singles match last year but it was cancelled because Dieno was ill. DDT went through the trouble of making the match again this year and Dieno wants it to happen so they can go “beyond full nudity” this time. Sasaki doesn’t care and kept demanding he face Takeshita instead. Dieno then came up with an idea to make it a 3 Way Match. That way Sasaki can get Takeshita and Dieno can still go “beyond full nudity” with the two of them. With Takeshita involved that means it will now happen in front of a bigger, more global audience. Imabayashi accepted his reasoning and booked the 3 Way for Sumo Hall.

NωA Jr. are a man down for the time being because Kazuma Sumi is in New Japan competing in the Super Jr. Tag League with Ryusuke Taguchi. In the meantime, Katsumata & Yuni are still opening DDT shows with an NωA Jr. performance. They encouraged the fans today to send their cheers over to Sumi.

Today’s show was a statement from DDT to tell everyone they are now going full steam ahead towards “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” and beyond while also saying one last goodbye to maybe its most controversial unit in company history. In the main event Strange Love Connection got the better of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC in an Elimination 8-Man Tag Match. Within SLC, it was The Apex who were involved with the first half of eliminations. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya double teamed Hinata Kasai to take him out of the match first. But things went awry between them and Antonio Honda redirected Naya into eliminating Iino with a Big Boot out of the ring. Honda and Naya then eliminated each other when a struggle over the top rope ended with both of them falling to the floor. Chris Brookes and MAO relied on their skills to create the rest of the eliminations. Brookes submitted KANON with the House Piano Death but he and HARASHIMA couldn’t capitalize on beating the last man left, MAO. Instead MAO pinned HARASHIMA with the Bridging Gedo Clutch, leaving himself and Brookes as the final two. A ref bump caused the eliminated wrestlers from both teams to storm in and cause some chaos, leading to Brookes giving MAO the Praying Mantis Bomb for a nearfall when the ref recovered. Brookes went to do his finisher a second time but MAO countered it into a Small Package in midair to get the three count out of nowhere. After the match MAO talked about the different directions he and Brookes took. Now they both lead their own units to fight each other in a Korakuen Hall main event. Brookes told MAO that their KO-D Openweight Title match at Sumo Hall will determine which unit is better.

The show wasn’t over yet at this point. MAO turned to Iino and reminded him there are two things Iino said he wanted to do. Iino then called out Danshoku Dieno for one last match with him! They were meant to have a DDT Extreme Title match together in March 2025 but it was cancelled when Iino suffered an orbital fracture. That match has been on Iino’s mind ever since and he needs it to happen before he leaves DDT for NOAH. Dieno asked Iino if it was really him asking for the match or if it is Yuki “Sexy” Iino from the salacious unit they were in together a few years ago called Pheromones? Iino answered it was simply coming from his normal self. Dieno did not want to hear that and he walked out to the back. Suddenly the familiar voice of Dieno filled the room, except this time it was Dieno in his Pheromones form. If the normal Yuki Iino wanted the match then he would have to do it against Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno!

An impromptu match began between Dieno and Iino. After a quick exchange of signature moves, Dieno began to strip out of his costume and encouraged Iino to do the same. Iino fought the temptations and froze before pulling off his cap to shout “Jonetsu!” out loud. Iino didn’t join in with Dieno, instead he hit him with a Lariat and then pinned him with the Spear. Iino was in tears after the match while he talked about how important Pheromones was to him, helping him grow into the wrestler he is today. Dieno said Iino had a second piece of unfinished business so he will allow him to go do it. Yuki “Sexy” Iino has been expelled from Pheromones! Dieno told him not to dare live a life he will end up regretting and then left the ring.

With Pheromones now permanently sent out to pasture, Iino brought up his second and last piece of business. Ever since The Apex was formed Iino and Naya have never had another singles match against each other. Naya admitted he wanted to challenge Iino to a match but didn’t think he would get a chance. He isn’t going to cry over Iino leaving despite how lonely he will feel without him. At Sumo Hall they will fight each other one more time and Naya will make Iino feel the deepest regret he will ever have!

Ryusuke Taguchi has successfully defended the DDT Universal Title twice in two days this weekend. Yesterday he beat Dick Togo at a New Japan show to retain the championship and today he got the better of Akito to remain champion again. Both wrestlers today had the same gameplan of targeting the opponent’s legs and working in ways to apply the Ankle Lock. Taguchi altered his Dodon finisher to be more of a releasing slam so Akito couldn’t counter it. Some Kneecrushers weakened Akito enough for him to finally give up when Taguchi put him in the Cross Ankle Hold. Akito thanked Taguchi after the match for showing respect to DDT during his reign so far. Taguchi explained he is doing it because DDT have entrusted him with the belt.

Taguchi was in the middle of announcing his next title defence will be on 29th November when To-y suddenly got into the ring to challenge him. To-y said he wants to experience every single side of Taguchi from his skills to his “afro” persona. Then once To-y gets his fill he will beat Taguchi and win the Universal Title from him. Taguchi said he stopped paying attention to To-y’s challenge when he realized he shouldn’t be taking him seriously. He isn’t sure if To-y’s crazy personality is just an act so he’ll give him the title shot to figure out which of them is crazier.

After that match was decided, Taguchi and Kazuma Sumi revealed to everyone their team name for the upcoming Super Jr. Tag League being held in New Japan. They are called Sumi 55 (“Sumi GoGo” much like Apollo 55 of old) and they promise to come back to DDT as tournament winners! Backstage Taguchi said he wants to see Sumi spread his wings and take on the world. If Sumi 55 finds success as a team then Taguchi may consider the two of them go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

A successful title defence is now under paleyouth’s belt after Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku defeated ROMANCE DAWN with the KO-D Tag Titles on the line. Soma Takao is now a freelancer just like his tag partner Shota and the two thought they pay DDT a visit and take their tag titles away. But Koroku kicked out of the Official Endless Waltz and gave Takao the Intercept DDT off of the ropes. Masada followed up with a Triangle Kick and the champs then finished Takao off with their German Suplex/Knee Kick finisher.

The champs along with Daichi Sato and Bunbun got together after the match so all of paleyouth could celebrate the victory together. All of a sudden the cameraman at ringside started sticking up his middle finger at them. It turned out to be Ilusion behind the camera! Hideki Okatani then ran into the ring and attacked paleyouth from behind with a bamboo stick while Ilusion filmed it. The two of them challenged Masada & Koroku for the KO-D Tag Titles and they will get the match at Sumo Hall on 3rd November. Backstage Ilusion said he doesn’t care who the tag champs are, he just wants to add a 10th and 11th belt to his current collection of championships. He also said there is no way he and Okatani will lose to a team that are closer to thirty than he is!

In the match before that, DAMNATION T.A retained their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against NωA Jr. The presence of MJ Paul gave DAMNATION T.A the legally questionable numbers edge as he made up for the champs getting hit with a lot of big dives early on. He got called into the ring after Daisuke Sasaki pushed down Yukinori Matsui. The plan backfired after Ilusion brought in a chair and accidentally hit all of his partners with it by accident. Shunma Katsumata also tricked Ilusion into hitting himself with the chair by bouncing it off the top rope. The match came down to Sumi finding ways to roll up Sasaki with the School Boy. Sasaki kept kicking out and eventually he countered the School Boy into a cradle where he grabbed the bottom rope for leverage. Matsui somehow didn’t see it and counted the pinfall to give DAMNATION T.A the win. Later backstage, Sumi told Katsumata & Yuni he wants to take a break from NωA Jr. for a while. It’s been something he’s been thinking about all weekend even though he previously said the group would stay together going forward.

There was an important announcement regarding Shinya Aoki that was given out during the show but I’ll get to that later. His tag match on the show happened first. Junta Miyawaki had to do most of the hard work surviving against Jun Akiyama. Aoki made it look easy going up against Daichi Sato and used the Aoki Clutch on the youngster to win the match.

Match #2 might break the record for the shortest ever wrestling match to somehow also be around 15 minutes long. Dieno wanted to give Kaisei Takechi the Lip Lock during his entrance. Takechi dodged him and Dieno ended up Lip Locking Matsui instead, knocking the ref out. Then when The 37KAMIINA made their entrance, To-y felt it was the right time to roll up Yuki Ueno and try to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. He failed but Kazuki Hirata then tried the same thing. Ueno kicked out of that too but Super Sasadango Machine then jumped on top of him to get the pin and become champion. Ueno quickly won it back by giving Sasadango a Shining Wizard at ringside. While all of this was going on, Dieno was still chasing Takechi while To-y had all of a sudden made his way up to the balcony teasing a massive dive onto everyone below! Takechi was willing to catch him with the others until Dieno chased him over to the other side of the room and the others all followed, ruining To-y’s big spot. To-y came up with a new idea to wheel over a cart while everyone was fighting in the aisleway. That backfired when Dieno took over the cart and formed the Hell Gate while Sasadango pushed him toward Takechi & Ueno. Takechi jumped out of the way at the last second but Ueno got a face full of Dieno’s Hell Gate. He fainted and Dieno pinned him to win the title. To-y then jumped onto Dieno with a Cross Body Block to win the belt from him. After that, To-y was chased down to ringside where he tripped and fell over. Sasadango caught up to him and did the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock onto the floor to become the new champion. Sasadango then went up to the commentary table to celebrate. Takechi caught up but instead of attacking Sasadango, he bowed and convinced him to start dancing instead. It was all a trick so Takechi could knock Sasadango out when his guard was down. Dieno stopped Takechi from pinning him so the special guest commentator Yui Yoshida decided she would pin Sasadango and win the title for herself after everyone had all taken each other out! Dieno immediately put her in a Sleeper Hold to win back the belt. He then tried to give Ueno the Danshoku Nightmare over on the bleachers but Takechi knocked him down and Ueno rolled Dieno over to pin him and win the title once more.

By this point Kazuki Hirata grabbed the microphone and told everyone he only came to Korakuen Hall today for one thing and one thing only… to dance! He pulled out the Hirata GO! glasses and danced in the bleachers with Takechi joining in. They then both agreed to get into the ring and continue fighting in there. Takechi immediately put Hirata in a Crab Hold and Hirata instantly began tapping out. Matsui finally regained consciousness, had the bell ring to officially start the match and then had the bell ring again to end it with Takechi winning the match in exactly one second.

Hisaya Imabayashi got on the microphone but it wasn’t to complain about what just happened. Instead he praised everybody for giving the fans a great show even though the match was only one second long! Takechi then apologized to Sasadango for missing the Muscle& show and asked for another chance. Sasadango forgave him and the two shook hands. Hirata then suddenly pinned Ueno out of nowhere and ran off with the Iron Man Title! However a few minutes later everyone caught Hirata backstage and they all piled on top of him for a pinfall. Sasadango was the one directly on top of Hirata so he was declared the champion and he remains so at the time of writing.

A far more normal wrestling match happened before this. Sanshiro Takagi wanted to impress people by doing the Dragon Ring In but he jumped right into Naomi Yoshimura kicking him. Yuki Ishida thought he had Masami Inahata all figured out until Inahata countered the Ensho into a Spinning Body Slam. Yoshimura then shrugged off Ishida’s strikes to pin him with the Harai-goshi.

Still with me? Okay let’s move onto the announcements. The biggest news to come out of today’s show is that Shinya Aoki will be joining DDT on a full time basis! He will officially become a DDT wrestler on 3rd November, the same day he faces Zack Sabre Jr. at Sumo Hall. He promised to win that match as a DDT wrestler. Sanshiro Takagi said he’s worked with Aoki for a long time now and he is truly moved that Aoki is now joining DDT. Aoki described the decision as him further shifting away from MMO and towards pro wrestling. The idea to him felt right after Yuki Ueno was in his corner for his recent RIZIN fight. Takagi also thinks that it was necessary for Aoki to fully immerse himself in pro wrestling at least once in his life.

Some other important news is the appearance of three trainees who will soon make their pro wrestling debuts. The new rookies are (from left to right above) Haruki Satoh from Niigata, Maito Furuhashi from Aichi and Shuntaro Kobayashi from Chiba. All three of them will have their debut matches on 9th December. There is no mention yet if they will all debut in the same match or will be put into separate bouts by themselves.

And there’s one more new addition to the company. The voice actor Kouhei Sueyasu has joined DDT as a ring announcer. He is from the same talent agency and Tetsu Inada.

??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori when Ueno pinned Yuni with a Diving Body Press from the Ladder through the Table (10:30).

Today DDT visited a festival in Chiba that was being held alongside a Momoiro Clover Z concert. DDT decided to hold a Falls Count Anywhere match on center stage and threw Kumadori in there to experience street pro wrestling for the first time. The action was kept to the stage itself but it did have a runway that stretched out towards the crowd. Shunma Katsumata brought in chairs and Kazuma Sumi took out a ladder in response to that. Yuni did a Moonsault off of the ladder onto The 37KAMIINA but Yuki Ueno broke up the pin afterward. To-y then grabbed Sumi and held him in place while Ueno sprinted down the runway to hit a Shining Wizard. Kumadori was knocked off the stage and To-y followed him by doing the T・O・Y! dive onto him. After that Ueno & Katsumata put Sumi & Yuni on two seperate tables, climbed up two separate ladders and both jumped off them to put their opponents through the tables. Ueno then pinned Yuni to give The 37KAMIINA the victory.

Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Special Single Match: Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Chinga Tu Madre! (7:41).
2. Tomoya, Noriyuki Yoshida & KANON defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul when KANON pinned Paul with the Lariat (9:52).
3. Danshoku Dieno, Junta Miyawaki & Yuki Ishida defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Ishida pinned Kasai after the Anal Electric Kiss (11:41).
4. HARASHIMA defeated Masami Inahata with a Cross Armbreaker (14:32).
5. Sapporo Studio Five Presents Special 3 Way Tag Match – Art Is A Battle Rules: MAO & Yukio Naya defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Akito and Kazuki Hirata & To-y when Naya pinned Hirata with an Artistic La Magistral (13:31).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Jun Akiyama & Shunma Katsumata defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Ueno pinned Sato with the Jul.2 (19:08).

Yuki Ueno told Daichi Sato how impressed he is that he wrestles so intensely. He thinks there is no way Sato is only 18 years old! If The 37KAMIINA ever decides they want to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles they’ll be coming after paleyouth. At the end of the show Ueno kept on getting ambushed by Shunma Katsumata and To-y, both trying to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. Ueno kept fighting them off with Sleeper Holds until he finally escaped.

The semi-main event was sponsored by Sapporo Studio Five, a local photography studio. To-y was accompanied down to the ring by Saki Akai because he won a similarly sponsored match a year ago. He announced this year’s match would be held under “Art Is A Battle” rules. Pinfalls and submissions would only count if the wrestler did an artistic pose while doing them. Akai and Danshoku Dieno were the judges at ringside deciding what would count as being artistic. Sanshiro Takagi kept failing the task so he resorted to doing Beat Takeshi comedy gags. Akai got mad at him for doing that and refused to judge him, causing Takagi to grab her and bring her into the ring. Akai fought him off with a Big Boot and kicked a bunch of the other wrestlers, finishing off by giving Kazuki Hirata the Quetzalcoatl. Yukio Naya then pinned Hirata with La Magistral Cradle while Akai & MAO both posed next to him so the pinfall would count. Naya won a free photoshoot and he thinks the studio has never photographed somebody as big as him before.

Ilusion got into Kazuma Sumi’s head by making fun of his short height during their match. It got Sumi angry enough to throw him off his game. Then when a ref bump happened, Ilusion gave Sumi a Low Blow before pinning him with the Chinga Tu Madre! for the victory. Ilusion bragged about crushing the balls of NωA Jr. during the past two days before DAMNATION T.A defends the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against them next week.

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Hinata Kasai with the Skewer-Style Claymore (9:35).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Akito & To-y defeated Tomoya, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Ueno submitted Hirata with the Sleeper Hold with Anal (10:46).
3. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama, Noriyuki Yoshida & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Sato pinned Matsunaga with a PK (10:25).
4. Junta Miyawaki defeated Masami Inahata with the Sunshine Clutch (10:40).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs NωA Jr.!: Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki pinned Sumi with the NOW OR NEVER (12:17).
6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated when Brookes pinned KANON with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:18).

A blind tag from Chris Brookes on Antonio Honda allowed him to give an unsuspecting KANON the Praying Mantis Bomb to get the win. After the match he talked to MAO about all of the good and bad times they had together. On 3rd November Brookes is going to have a great time while MAO will get a painful one when Brookes wins the KO-D Openweight Title from him! MAO told him they will see each other again at Sumo Hall as well as Korakuen Hall and even here in Sapporo tomorrow too.

Daisuke Sasaki pulled out his old finishing move the NOW OR NEVER to give DAMNATION T.A a win over NωA Jr. While the rest of the group are taunting their next challengers for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles, Sasaki later revealed why he used his old move again. The NOW OR NEVER was named after a catchphrase from the TV show “From The North Country”. The screenwriter of that show So Kuramoto passed away in September. Sasaki grew up watching the show and wasn’t going to let anyone beat him in this region of Japan.

There was some mistaken information going around the show today about Tomoya and his future in wrestling. The Hokkaido wrestler will be taking an indefinite hiatus from wrestling at the end of the year after he completes the 30th Anniversary of his debut. Before Match #2 began, Akito told everyone that the shows this weekend are Tomoya’s last appearances in DDT because he will be retiring from wrestling. After the match, Tomoya got on the microphone to correct Akito and assure everyone his indefinite hiatus does not mean he is retiring.

Match #2 also ended with Yuki Ueno putting Kazuki Hirata in a Sleeper Hold while holding him right up in front of Danshoku Dieno’s exposed backside over the corner post.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuki Ueno defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a Sleeper Hold (7:36 pm).
*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,917th champion.

After today we’re done with the Beer Garden shows for the rest of the year. It ends on a bright point for Kaisei Takechi who got to compete in his first DDT style Falls Count Anywhere match teaming up with The 37KAMIINA. Before the match began Shunma Katsumata tried rolling up his own teammate Yuki Ueno to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Ueno kicked out so Katsumata ran away from the ring, briefly delaying the match from starting. Takechi fought with HARASHIMA around the venue before joining To-y so they could push each other on a cart along the aisleway. The opposing team put Sanshiro Takagi on a second cart and the two carts crashed into each other. Katsumata then rolled up Ueno again, this time succeeding to win the title. Junta Miyawaki built a castle of chairs nearby but Akito couldn’t find the Dramatic Dream bike anywhere. Suddenly Takechi was seen piloting it into the venue and cycling straight toward the chair castle. Everyone on the other team jumped out of the way as Takechi bumped his entire team into the chairs. He made up for the mistake by diving off the stage onto HARASHIMA & Akito. Ueno & Katsumata then fought with Takagi using chairs, coming out on top because of the numbers game. Katsumata climbed up to the balcony where he hit the Totonou Splash from three metres high onto Takagi through a table to win the match. Ueno then ruined Katsumata’s celebration by putting him in a Sleeper Hold to win back the Iron Man Title. He did the same to To-y when To-y tried to win the belt off him. Takechi saw two of his teammates were suddenly unconscious and decided not to join in. Katsumata tried to ambush Ueno one more time backstage after the show only to be sent to sleep yet again.

A special rule was added to the 8-Man Tag Match. Both MAO and Daisuke Sasaki were named captains of their teams. Whenever there was a kickout or rope break the team captain must drink a glass of alcohol. MAO and Sasaki got progressively more drunk as the match continued while everyone else involved were unaffected. Sasaki tried spitting his drink Poison Mist style but blinded MJ Paul with it by mistake. Yukio Naya took advantage to pin Paul with a Small Package.

Kazuma Sumi & Yuni are now confident that NωA Jr. can win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after they beat two of the previous champions from paleyouth. Sumi & Yuni both proclaimed they will win the titles on 18th October.

Jun Akiyama acted as an honorary member of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC today by wearing some of their merch to the ring today. He also took part in their antics that involved baseball bats and some water balloons.

The 3 Way Match ended before Toru Owashi could make it to the ring. During his entrance, Antonio Honda grabbed the Hirata Go! glasses and threw them away, distracting Kazuki Hirata long enough to pin him with a roll up. Owashi was so upset he missed the match that Hisaya Imabayashi made the other wrestlers apologise to him and agree to a restart. As the rematch went on, Owashi and Honda gave each other a Lip Lock. That inspired Hirata to try doing the same with Yukinori Matsui, who closed his eyes in anticipation. Honda then rolled up Hirata for a pin but there was no count because Imabayashi’s eyes were still closed so he couldn’t see a pin. Owashi then made Honda use the Shining Gongitsune against himself and then used La Magistral Cradle to win the match.

The opening match showed us a world where Danshoku Dieno entered the wrestling industry as a no nonsense young lion wrestling in black trunks and no other presentation. This meant Yuki Ishida was the gritty veteran putting the rookie through his paces. Except at some point in the match something awakened in Ishida and he started to act like Dieno’s normal gimmick. Ishida ended up giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then started stripping out of his wrestling gear, causing the match to get called off.

*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,915th champion.
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Chinga Tu Madre! (10:21).
5. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Bridging Gego Clutch (18:59).
6. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Jackhammer (12:21).

Kind of hard to believe that Naomi Yoshimura’s been wrestling for ten years now. Looking back I have to wonder how much more prolific he would have been in DDT if he never suffered his neck injury at the very end of 2018. The man who got Yoshimura into wrestling in the first place is Zeus from Osaka Pro which made him the perfect opponent for Yoshimura for his 10th Anniversary match. It became a battle of Chops and while Yoshimura was able to take Zeus down with the Hirai-goshi, he was beaten in the end by Zeus’s Jackhammer. Yoshimura said Zeus is the wrester he admires most for paving the way for him. He was also the one who taught Yoshimura how to write up his resume to DDT (he had to re-do it twice). Zeus told the story of the day a young man showed up in his gym with an amazing physique and an incredible drive to push himself. He asked him what is his goal for the future and the young man answered “pastry chef”. As thanks for today’s match, Zeus invited Yoshimura to compete at his own 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Pro taking place on 11th October. Yoshimura said he would love to. He closed out the show saying the DNA generation are currently driving DDT forward and right now he is the No. 1 heavyweight in the company!

The energy levels surrounding the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match have started off unusually low. MAO and Strange Love Connection are starting to miss Viento Levante while he is away with injury and Yuki Iino will be leaving them for NOAH soon as well. Meanwhile Chris Brookes is being open about wrestling while his back and elbow are both hurting. However he is confident he will be in good condition for Sumo Hall. It resulted in today’s preview match between SLC and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC to be more of a feeling out process than a big sprint.

A new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion needed to be crowned when the previous champion Shinjuku FACE shut down and now no longer exists. Yuki Ueno and Masami Inahata were chosen to fight for the vacant title and Ueno picked up the win by using the Blackout Sleeper to transition into a more regular Sleeper Hold. Ueno decided he wants to actively defend this championship to build up to his DDT Extreme Title match with Shunma Katsumata so it will end up becoming a Double Title match! He will become the “Iron Man” fitting to hold this championship.

2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Final: Winner Of Winners Bracket Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Nagisa Nozaki Vs X & X

The idol to pro wrestling pipeline continues to pay off for Tokyo Joshi Pro. They will soon be bringing in Shiori Futaba from Congrazie! so she can take part in her debut match. She and Congrazie! were part of the Tokyo Idol Festival shows that TJPW held two months ago. Futaba even briefly held the Iron Man Title for two minutes back then. She wants to go through with this because she felt a connection with fans doing that show and she would like to have Shoko Nakajima be part of her match. No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.
